[xwiki-users] JobManager vs JobExecutor
by Stefan Bernsdorf 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

Hi, I have seen that the jobManager is deprecated since 6.1. But how would I schedule a job and return immediately using the jobExecutor? (Using the jobManager it would be something like : Job job = jobManager.addJob("jobtype", request)) Thanks , Stefan.

[xwiki-users] Xwiki encoding for french language
by Mike Migale 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hello everyone, I recently tried to insert french language characters (é, è, à) in xwiki.atc.ch for: 1. Validation Email content 2. Confirmation Email content (under Home>Administer Wiki>Users and Groups>Registration) but when we register, we get the above mentioned characters as "?" in the email. I changed encoding to UTF-8 for xwiki encoding and html encoding (as per http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Encoding) and reloaded tomcat6 and apache, but it still displays "?" characters in the email received. Anyone have an idea of how to proceed please? *also, I found http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2007-March/002944.html - saying to change mysql encoding (which I didn't perform till now), is it recommended? (other apps/websites are running on the same server) Thanking you in advance, Regards, Mike Migale Mike Migale Solero Royal Road, Moka 80829 T: +230 650 8880 E: info(a)solero.mu

[xwiki-users] define a class for multiple documents
by Adrien Moi 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hello, I have little question : I would like to define a class in a groovy macro in a document, create an instances of this class on another document and then access this instance on the first document. Is that possible to do? It would kinda look like this: First doc (Doc1): {{groovy}} public class Hello{ public printHello(){ println("HelloWorld!") } } Hello A = //get instance "FirstTest" of Hello from the doc2 A.printHello(); {{/groovy}} second doc (Doc2): {{groovy}} //import class definition from Doc1 Hello FirstTest = new Hello(); {{/groovy}} then the first document would output "HelloWorld! " Is that doable in any way?? Thanks in advance Adrien

[xwiki-users] Sorting Documents by Arbitrary Dates on XWiki Dashboards
by Brett Gersekowski 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

I'm in the process of transferring a reasonable number of "Tip of the Day" articles that we've previously distributed by email to store on the Wiki. Ideally, I'd like to display them in a Documents list using the Dashboard macro and Documents gadget and have the date that they were first published as one of the columns in the document list. Note that the publication date should reflect the date that the tip was first sent out as an email, not the date that I'm now transferring the text to the Wiki, which is today (ie. November, 2014). Some of these articles go back as far as September, 2011. I think I'd also like to avoid messing with the revision history dates on these articles. I think the publication date should be a field independent of the needs of the Wiki and it's revision tracking mechanisms, even if there is a supported way of fiddling with such things. I've been able to associate a CreationDate property with each article via the following process: 1. Create a Hidden "Tip of the Day" page. 2. Edit the class of the "Tip of the Day" page and add a Date property called CreationDate. 3. On each Tip of the Day article, edit the objects, add a "Tip of the Day" object and store the creation date in the CreationDate property on that object. What I can't seem to figure out is if I can display this as a column in the Documents gadget of a dashboard and if so how. The Documents gadget does have a columns property which takes a comma-separated list of column specifications such as doc.name, doc.date, doc.author and the like. Is there are way to specify the CreationDate on the attached Tip of the Day object as a column in this list? Alternatively, is there a better way to go about this?

[xwiki-users] [ANN] Sponsoring an XWiki issue
by Eduard Moraru 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hello XWiki community members, Do you have an issue that is very important to you, but nobody seems to notice even if you`ve reported it a while ago? About a month ago we have included in our issue tracker ( http://jira.xwiki.org ) the ability to sponsor an issue. Have you seen that green link on the right side ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Community/Contributing/sponsorIssue… ), that`s it! :) We did not get much of a reaction until now, so I should maybe try to present it properly to the community and see what people think; if it's a good idea or not; if it`s going to work out or if we should dump it. The idea is simple and is described in our Contributing page ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing#HSponsoringissues ). Basically, you see an issue that you really want someone to fix and you offer yourself to sponsor it, in the hopes of motivating people to prioritize your issue above all others. Other people may join in and increase the sponsored amount any time, so the chances of the issue to be fixed will grow accordingly. You do this by clicking the green "Sponsor" link on the right side of the issue, getting redirected to the FreedomSponsors.org website, fill in the details and wait for the magic to happen. At this point, any member of the community with developer skills can see your issue above others and have a go at it. When he is done and you are happy with the work, you can reward him with the promised amount. More details on the technicalities can be found on their FAQ ( https://freedomsponsors.org/faq ). Among the advantages, I can list: - Prioritize your issue above others - Reward people for their time spent on helping you out with your needs - A way to sponsor open source hard work done on the XWiki project Let us know what you think about this initiative. Thanks, Eduard

[xwiki-users] Using HTML5 File Upload Widget for non-XWiki files
by Bryn Jeffries 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

I'd like to upload files through a custom File Upload servlet that runs from the same Tomcat server but is not part of XWiki. This servlet does some file processing and stores the file in a separate area away from the XWiki attachments, and it's possible that eventually this servlet might be moved to another server as processing demands change. Is it possible to make use of the supplied XWiki UI widgets to upload to this servlet? Any guidance on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

[xwiki-users] How to get The jobExecutor
by Stefan Bernsdorf 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hi, I wanted to use the snip from page http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Job+Module .... Request jobRequest = new DefaultRequest(); // Indicate an id to allow you to access the status of this unique task, the id is required to save/retrieve the status of the job jobRequest.setId("taskid"); // Allow the job to ask questions during its executing (false by default) jobRequest.setInteractive(true); // [since 5.4] Indicate if the job should log informations about what is going on (to display it during the process for example, true by default) jobRequest.setVerbose(true); // Put some custom configuration jobRequest.setProperty("some custom jobtype related parameter", "value"); // Lookup and execute Job with role hint "jobtype" and wait for it to be finished jobManager.executeJob("jobtype", request) // Lookup and add Job with role hint "jobtype" to the queue queue and return right away Job job = jobManager.addJob("jobtype", request) // Wait until the job is finished job.join() .. to be able to create my own job and job request. But how is the jobManager injected? When I use the snip, the the jobManager is null.

[xwiki-users] localization string missing - xe.blog.code.title
by Ricardo.Julio.Rodriguez.Fernandez＠sergas.es 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Hi everybody!!! Please, allow me some small talk... I'm really happy to be here again once I've managed to get and start enjoying a brand new 6.2.4. XWiki installation! Only a detail: after following the evolution of the 6.x branch and having installed the new 6.2.4 release, a string seems to keep lacking affecting the renderization of Blog.WebHome. Here it is what I see not only here, but in a number of installations around the net... http://atriumkm.idisantiago.es/bin/download/ICT/Images/blogLocalizationMiss… I guess you get the same result by accessing directly this site... http://idis1.idisantiago.es:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/ Please, even though it is kind of a trivial problem not affecting, shouldn't it be fixed?
